Valentine's Day 2013

We have been so busy lately but its' been mostly a "fun" busy. ;) The kids have had parties at school, dance class, play dates, and some fun Valentine's crafts too! I am loving the age of the kids right now, for the most part, they are loving each other too! ;)

We had our monthly play group date on Wednesday...it was a Valentine party. It was super cute to exchange Valentine's with all our little friends. It's always MAJOR chaos but SO MUCH FUN!!!

Seriously, who is this kid? There is no "little" boy left in this picture. He looks so grown up. This picture was taken at his preschool Valentine party. ;)

Then there is this little peach. She is officially less than a month away from turning TWO....TWO YEARS OLD PEOPLE!!!

I love comparing pictures....here is Valentine's 2011, 2012, 2013, and now 2014.

Sis had a Valentine party in dance class...as you can tell she was SUPER excited about it! (picture was taken on my phone, as you can tell)

For remembrance sake...I let the kids pick out the boxed Valentine's to give to their play group friends (I went all out for Wyatt's class and decided to give the kids a little "freedom" for play group. Ha!) Sis had a tough time deciding between Sofia and Ariel but she finally chose Sofia. As you can see she loved coloring them but was pretty concerned about the flakes of paper that landed on the table as we tore them apart. She wanted to "hipe" (wipe) then she was about getting her Valentine’s finished.

When Valentine's Day was over I had made a total of 14 dozen Valentine themed cookies. It was super fun and I am enjoying this new little adventure. I can't wait to start making Spring ones and even Easter....though I do have a few fun St. Patty's day ideas. ;)

Then there was this kid...who had to follow the EXACT directions on the box. The sticker, the eraser, and even the envelope had to be like the picture. Ya, that would be his father....;) He didn't have a hard time picking his boxed Valentine at all....Ninja Turtles, hands down.

* I can't believe Feb. is 1/2way over and I have been party preping for Sis's b-day party/ies. We are staying busy around here...but in a good way. We are so ready for some warmer weather though. It's been in the mid-20's and the average temp. this time of year is in the 40's so we are itching to get outside and see a little sunshine!
